Another test with answers that don't fit

So here's this "how liberal or conservative are you" test over at Blogthings (via that other Eric).

I didn't get very far.

Question #2:

Immigration policies

• Should be less strict. Immigrants enhance this country.
• Should be more strict. Too many people enter illegally.

Hmmm.  How about, Both and Neither?

I'm in favor of improved border security, and deporting illegals who are caught committing crimes.  (I'm not in favor of drastic measures to check the status of workers, and there are some illegals who probably ought to be allowed to stay - e.g., the ones who just have minor technical problems with their paperwork.  Zero tolerance is often bad policy.)

I'm also in favor of making legal immigration easier.  Look at all the hoops legal immigrants have to jump through to get a student visa, never mind permanent resident status.

So: I favor making legal immigration easier, and illegal immigration more difficult.  This is contrary to political trends, which favor making life more difficult for the ones who are easy to catch, and easier for the ones who make a lot of noise.
